RE: Moms of two -- what do you drive?
We have a Subaru Outback and two car seats: a forward facing RA behind the driver's seat and a rear facing Snugride behind the passenger seat. We would have prefered to keep DS #1 rear facing longer, but had to turn him around when his brother was born because there was no way to squeeze it in behind the driver's seat. DH has incredibly long legs and does most of the driving. When DS #2 outgrows the Snugride, we will put him in the RA, rear facing behind the passenger seat, and switch DS #1 to a new seat--something that will turn into a booster so we don't have to buy two new seats for him as he grows.
The other problem (besides not being able to fit two rear facing if one driver is tall) is that the only person who can fit between the two seats is my extremely thin mother (5' 4" and 100 lbs), and even she is quite uncomfortable. So if you ever need to give anyone a ride besides your two kids, I wouldn't recommend the Outback!
Our friends have a Camry; it easily fits a Marathon and a RA side by side with plenty of room for another passenger (or third carseat).
